Faith like a child

A few days ago, the Lord started speaking to me about having faith like a child. It is amazing what we can learn from our kids.
A conversation with Anjali yesterday went like this...

Anjali: Why are you getting that sweatshirt?
Me: Because I don't want to be cold.
Anjali: I don't want to be cold either. God, would you please help me to find my sweatshirt?

Anjali then walked into her room, opened her closet, and said, "I found it!!! thank you, God!!"

About five minutes later...

Anjali: mom, will you zip up my sweatshirt?
Me: sure
Anjali: thanks, God.
Me: I'm not God, silly. I'm mommy.
Anjali: No, I was thanking God for helping you zip my sweatshirt up.

Anjali knows something I sometimes forget...All good things come from God....all of them.
